The hardware and the OS will hold the DRM, as far as I understand. That means that if say pirates break the DRM on Windows, Microsoft can patch it by next Tuesday. That being said DRM by default in browsers (through EME) is probably the end

I know Coinbase is trying to make transactions as easy as possible for its customers, and in order to do that they've started to "abstract Bitcoins away", but they may be going too far, to the point where it's pointless

How about Microsoft and Apple? Do they get a free pass from this, because they're less likely to do it, so why even bother asking them? I'm not defending Google, and I support EFF's request. I'm just saying this seems to

Motorola already started that battle before Google bought them In fact, there were some theories that Google bought Motorola because they were about to attack other Android OEM's, too. I'm sure that's not the only reason,

I'm all for a "Star Trek economy", but I think that implies having very low costs on stuff, too, such as replicated food that barely costs anything more than the atoms needed to create it (energy to make it would be free&#x2F

Well I can tell you what I didn't like from the moment I saw the web page: I can't see or use the app in any way before I even register. As some random visitor coming to your site, why would I bother doing that, when I have no ide

I'd be happy if they were actually "wasting it on technology", but this seems like corrupt money, going into the pockets of big corporations for very little and poor work. They probably charge at least 10x what it's wort

Wait, how is UK taking down .com domains? Are these registrars registered in UK as businesses? But even then this method sounds very suspicious. Can the UK government suspend Google.com, if Google's registrar is based in UK, too?
